About

NpiNo.org helps you obtain detailed information about health care providers, doctors and professionals enrolled in the Medicare program, as required by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010.

The purpose of providing these information is to help you make informed choices about the health care you are intent to receive through Medicare.

The information comes primarily from the Provider, Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System (PECOS ) and other information sources. The information is also checked against Medicare claims data.

Here, you can find:

  • Addresses where the professional sees patients (always call to confirm the address and make an appointment before visiting; some professionals work at more than one location),
  • Primary and secondary specialties,
  • Medicare Assignment status,
  • Whether the individual or group participates in any Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) quality programs,
  • Gender,
  • Medical school education and residency information (upon explicit request),
  • Groups that individuals work with (individual profiles) or individuals who work with the group (group profiles), and
  • Affiliated hospitals.
NOTE : Only Medicare data (PECOS and claims) are used in this dataset. All licensed data are excluded from this dataset.
  • There is no Board Certification information
  • No residency data
  • No foreign language data
  • Hospital affiliation data are based only on Medicare claims-based linkages, so the affiliated hospitals for a particular professional listed on the website and on the downloadable file may not be the same.

Update Data

Information about Health Care, Services, Providers and Professionals which are being showed on NpiNo.org mainly comes from the datasets published by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and by National Plan & Provider Enumeration System (NPPES), under the FOIA-disclosable policies (www.foia.gov ). That is means:

  • The information being disclosed on the NPI Registry and in the downloadable files are FOIA-disclosable and are required to be disclosed under the FOIA and the eFOIA amendments to the FOIA. There is no way to ‘opt out’ or ‘suppress’ the NPPES record data for health care providers with active NPIs.

  • The NPPES Data Dissemination Notice and outreach documents from CMS encouraged health care providers to review their FOIA-disclosable NPPES data and edit it as necessary and to remove, if they wished, sensitive data from FOIA-disclosable fields that were furnished on an optional basis (i.e. data that were not required to be furnished in order to apply for an NPI). Many health care providers have taken some or all of these actions.
